About Us
What is Explore Energy?
Our mission is to enhance and amplify the Stanford student experience around Everything Energy. We develop education offerings, catalyze connection, and build synergy within (and beyond) Stanford's energy ecosystem.
Our vision is to support all Stanford students who are interested in energy and propel them to make a purposeful impact in the world.

Navigate & Connect
A hub for Everything Energy in Stanford’s energy ecosystem that provides students with a toolbox of resources and personalized matching to a vast range of opportunities. We create a cohesive energy circuit that bridges Stanford’s Schools, Institutes, and various campus groups.

Learn & Experience
An umbrella that oversees experiential learning and student engagement programs, in cooperation with partners of the Precourt Institute for Energy. We support existing offerings and develop new offerings that fill the gaps across energy education.
Why Energy?
-
Energy use accounts for 73% of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. As fundamental to human development yet the primary contributor to climate change, energy presents a pressing global challenge with vast implications.
-
To reach Net Zero by 2050, we need to decarbonize power generation, industry, transportation, agriculture, and more — while addressing equity, justice, and human development challenges. We must advocate for a just transition to a clean energy future.
-
We need a generation of energy-literate people who want to change the world — both as energy users in their personal life and as decision-makers and global citizens.
